STARTING MARRIED LIFE FOR two weeks Kate threw herself into the business of teaching with all her power.

She succeeded in so interesting herself and her pupils that she was convinced she had done a wise thing.

Marriage did not interfere with her teaching; she felt capable and independent so long as she had her salary.

George was working and working diligently, to prepare for winter, whenever she was present or could see results.

With her first month's salary she would buy herself a warm coat, a wool suit, an extra skirt for school, and some waists.
